I agree. Ever since this league business started I have not been able to complete a building either to collect all pieces of a set or get enough artefacts to reach level 10. I have just calculated my remaining scrolls and will also not be able to have enough without purchasing. I probably won't bother with the next event
And unless I have some sudden good luck on Arendyll, I will be doing the same thing there, as there is no way I am going to let not spending free diamonds get in my way of the set.
"Thousands of free diamonds"The problem is that it comes down to luck, like almost all of the events do. As unlucky as you and others are, there are players who win enough currency back to go a grand prize or two further than the one that completes the building/set. My one complaint is that Inno does not adjust for this when they give us a set, instead of an evolving building. Bad luck winning artifacts just means needing one or two from the FA that normally follows. But when coming up short a building in a set, we do not have that option, or any other way to gain the final piece.
My luck in this event, both in my Live city and my Beta one, has been worse than normal. I did not win enough currency to get the final building in my Beta city, so I burned some of the 1000s of free diamonds that can be won in the game to buy just enough SK to finish the final grand prize and complete the set. And unless I have some sudden good luck on Arendyll, I will be doing the same thing there, as there is no way I am going to let not spending free diamonds get in my way of the set.
I'm trying to believe this.
Well, it won't help you for this event, but it will for future. If you want free diamonds, the best strategy is learn to master the Spire. Joining a Silver Spire FS nets you 125 a week and a Gold Spire FS will net you 275 a week. You may also win Genies from Spire that also sometimes spits out . If you've mastered the Spire, you can apply for Gold FS. There are only a handful on each server, but they recruit a lot bc real life happens. Silver is pretty easy IMO and is not that costly at all to handle. If you pad your resume with Tourney and Spire, you pretty much have a free passport to join any FS. Second thing to do is to craft a lot and cycle through as many mystery object chests. Lastly, the forum has monthly contests sometimes. The odds of winning are decent because there are usually a bunch of winners per contest and not just one."Thousands of free diamonds"
Maybe for someone who has 2 cities and is very far progressed. Starting chapter 4, and I've earned a whole 100 diamonds. Ever

"Your hopes, dreams and aspirations are legitimate. They are trying to take you airborne, above the clouds, above the storms, if you only let them."I think, that something will happen.
Therefore, I am, something will happen.

I got the goddess of disappointment again. She is hardly worth the space.If it's anything like the one I have out, you'll have a nice pile of diamonds in no time. Now if I could just get the same RNG luck in the event....

This has nothing to do with how good a player you are. It’s all based on statistics as long as you collect all of the sorcerer’s knowledge (SK) from the quests. I’m in the same boat as Enevhar right now (almost exactly statistically). There’s no way to complete the set unless you’re winning SK every round, or spending diamonds.@Enevhar Aldarion That's terrible news. You're a really good, experienced, serious player. If you're struggling to complete your set then probably every other good, serious player will as well. And it will be worse for more casual players.

I would like to have the full set too. Events and event buildings is one of the reasons why I enjoy playing this game. However, I admit that Elvenar devs and owners can encourage a player to spend diamonds because they can and it is their game. They are entitled to choose any business model they like for Elvenar, and to change it as they see it fit whenever they want. Correspondingly, we are allowed to refuse to participate in these events if we find them abusive, or we can leave the game altogether.Having said that, events should not be forcibly pay to play to complete. There are already incentives to spend diamonds to get extra pilgrims manor buildings, why force every single player (aside from a very statistically small percentage of players winning SK every round from beacons) to have to spend diamonds to complete the set?
